GLOBAL WARMING- ENTIRELY TRUE?

So i turn on the telly to get my mind off the hunger trying to overcome me- I'm fasting. I flip through the channels and Al-Jazeera grabs my attention. There was a report on the global warming effecting the the slow disintegration and separation of the icebergs in Greenland. This led me to think; Is global warming as big as it is claimed to be? Are these as a resulting of the increase in carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?

My stand on this contentious issue is simple; it is there but blown out of proportion. Global warming is just the experts' lazy excuses of why such icebergs melt. I believe that though global warming does play a part in melting icebergs, it is not the sole reason for the detachments of them as witnessed on telly.

In a bid to raise awareness on the catastrophic effects resulting from global warming, many experts magnify the magnitude by highlighting it as the sole contributor to the spliting of icebergs.

I also believe that governments are using global warming as revenue earner. Governments are now imposing limits on the amounts of green house gases being ejected into the atmosphere. Industries that exceed the limits are fined heavily. Some countries (identities withdrawn) are paying money to the government in accordance to the amount of waste that is being released into the atmosphere. Is that out of true concern for the planet? or just another sly way of extorting companies out of millions of shillings?

If this is truly a concern, experts should delve in to the idea of how to minimize emissions, governments should close down industries producing excess amounts of green house gases (planet before money), industries should turn to alternative sources to reduce pollution, citizens should embrace an eco-friendly lifestyle among many other solutions.

I do acknowledge the efforts made by individuals and companies that are tirelessly trying to come up with "safer" alternatives to reduce pollution for instance solar powered cars. However, such a vision for the betterment of a nation is not a one man job, but rather a collective effort that includes the entire population for it to work. However,a journey of a thousand miles starts with the first step. Let these inventions be the stepping stone for a better future.
